The Lagos Ride is not an empowerment scheme but a slavery scheme. Here are my reasons:
The above is just a summary of the scheme.
My questions are as follows :
1. If I am a driver and I have 1.8m, will I be fool enough to go and subject myself to all the above or get a good Toyota car of my own and register with already available e-hailing platforms?
2. If 1.8m is just 20% of the vehicle, that means the actual cost o the car is 9m even if it’s more than brand new who cares?
3. Please multiply 8,709 daily by 365 days. This means in a year, the driver would have paid 3,178,785. Now multiply just 3m by 4 years and it follows that the driver would have paid 12m and worked for 4 years to own the car.
Now see – the car cost 9m and you will pay 12m over 4 years.
Do you also know that if in the course of working under the platform, there is a high possibility that the car will be withdrawn from the driver in the event of not meeting the remittance repeatedly for whatever reasons even if genuine? So after two years or so of labour, the car can be taken away from you and if you go to court, the main contract terms and conditions will be read to the driver and will be all efforts wasted.
Remember that some drivers won’t read the contract word for word and even some that will do will still accept because they just want to start hustling as the saying goes.
This is my position.
